[/caption]Mark Ingram, Heisman Trophy winning running back, will miss at least the University of Alabama's season-opening game against San Jose State this week. He is missing the game because of an arthroscopic surgery on his left knee.
Ingram, a junior, was hurt during yesterday's practice. His status will be evaluated on a week-to-week basis, said Alabama coach Nick Saban in a statement.
"It was a situation where everyone involved thought it would be better to take care of it now, so he would not have any issues with it later in the season," said Saban.
Alabama won college football's national championship last season with a 14-0 record. Alabama is hosting San Jose State on September 4, and then they are going to be home to Penn State next week.
Ingram could possibly miss the Penn State game next week too if he isn't alright by then.
"Mark will definitely be out for this week's game. We will make every decision in the future based on what's best for Mark and his career. This is not an injury that will affect Mark's future ability to make a full recovery in a relatively short time frame," continues Saban.

Ingram has, so far, had a very nice history. He became the first member of the Crimson Tide to win the Heisman Trophy as the sport's most outstanding player, last season.
He rushed for 1,542 yards and 15 touchdowns during the season. He scored 2 more touchdowns in Alabama's 37-21 win over Texas in the Bowl Championship Series title game.
We all hope he gets better soon and that we see him back in the game as soon as possible and is able to play the rest of the season.
